General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

I prefer farmers being rich ass than bankers honestly. Farmers deserve to be rich, they rarely get a day off.
If they have that much wealth, they need to be taxed. If you've got knobheads like Clarkson supporting them, you just know they're in the wrong.
I'm sure the animals would like a day off from being raped too.
Clarkson went into farming as a tax dodge.
What's wrong with clarkson?
Climate change denial for a start? Of course he walked it back after started to affect him personally, typical conservative really.
To ask "What's wrong with Clarkson?" you'd have to know nothing about him.
He isn't really a political figure though? Just a funny car man on the telly.
I don't get the sectarian american-imported idea of "oh, clarkson is on their side and I disagree with his previous views on climate change, therefore they are in the wrong"
Guess we have to support Israel now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I listed but one example of him being a cockwomble, one you agree with, there are more.
The "what's wrong with Clarkson" question was answered. It's so easily answerable in fact, one would have to know nothing of the man to ask it.
Right, because if (guy I don’t like) supports something, I’m obliged to hate it and fight against it!
This really tells me all I need to know about your politics. You’re not interested in making life better for anyone. You’re filled with bitterness and resentment and you just want to watch the world burn. You don’t see taxes as a tool to bring prosperity to more people. For you, taxes are a weapon to bludgeon your enemies with. Enemies you’ve never met that a man on the television taught you to hate.
My, what a lot of conclusions you just drew on zero evidence. Almost impressive.
I mean, jump on that one part rather than the actual argument.
Really tells me all I need to know about your politics.
